Invisible Status

[foxman]

Wdemon pretty much said everything in his first post.

Well I do not care either way as you should not pm a mod unless asked or your friends etc in my opinion...that said I think it is a bit abused by some staff

Although it is nice to see a staff member online imo, I think its okay to appear offline as well. There's rarely a true emergency.

Well I agree but most use it all the time

If Mod's are using the invisible status we'll also use it.. we members also need to take a break frm nooby Mod's and annoying creatures(CP)..! am i right CP?

A Member Needs any Help He will Create Thread

A Member Needs any Help He will Create Thread

And then you get a thread full of comments like:

"Noob Question"
"Speak English"
"You stupid"

ofc depending on the question,
we need to bear in mind that not everyone is on the same
mental ability level as others, some questions are better to ask
a mod directly.

Regarding submitting a report wdemon himself said they are normally
answered within 12 hours to.

Regarding " Just because a Mod is appearing offline does not mean they
will not answer a PM" well how will a member know who to send the PM to?

If mods are fed up of noob questions, then they should resign?

I mean, its a webmaster forum, but that doesnt mean everyone will have a vast knowledge. Members start from somewhere and when they start they are bound to have loads of noobish questions. Mods are here to help them out. Create a thread and other members are sure to bash them, leading to unwanted drama ofcourse.

Else, change the tagline to "Established Webmaster Hangout Only".

So lets say i'm a newb here,
i'm expected to PM every Mod/Super Mod/Admin
with a question i have?

Would it not be better if i saw you online and just sent 1 PM
instead of bothering every mod with this?

You are not suppose to PM every mod/super mod/admin.

Now that's spam.

Then how do i know who i am supposed to PM?
Example:
yourself & wdemon are online right now but because i can't
see you guys online I'd PM Hawk or Mr-R-T both who are not
online and might not be online for the next 12 hours.

Why not just PM a mod who is online?

(This is if you meant instead of PMing every mod just PM 1)
